Hey munyaradzi! Your close, string concatenation should look like this:

variable2 = "and its good"
variable1 = "This is a string " + variable2

You got close, but there a four things wrong with your code. First, you should not concatenate the string "munyaradzi", you should concatenate the variable "name". Secondly you shouldent use a plus on the string "Treehouse loves", this is one string and should not be changed. Thirdly the challenge tells you to store the concatenated string into a variable called subject. Finally you need to have a space at the end of your first string to ensure that the name and the string "Treehouse loves" has a space. You havent done this. In the end your code should look like:

name = "munyaradzi"
subject = "Treehouse loves " + name
